Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is: $284.10.

Explanation:

The percentage of a number represents a part of it. Typically percentages are used when a certain amount of money is to be paid out of another amount because of services being provided or for using the money as instruments of investments like bank loans.

In Bethany Richards' case, she receives 9% in commissions for all the books she sales. Then,

Total amount for books sold = $963.25 + $742.00 + $614.35 + $837.10

Total amount for books sold = $3156.70

Thus,

Bethany's monthly commission = $3156.70 x (9%)

Bethany's monthly commission = $284.10
